Scope and content

Fulton comments on SZ's proposal to study people under strain, and SZ's appointment to the Blast Committee of the M.R.C.. He is interested in SZ's comments on concussion and blast. It appears that a fixed head would not be concussed under blast conditions, but that a free head would. The bedbugs at the laboratory had been removed, "but the cockroaches thrive on cyanide". Fulton's plans for coming to England remain unsettled.
